Thank you so much for this -I can't tell you how much it would mean to me to be able to visit where my Mum was born .
My Mum sadly never got the chance to go back to Australia after she left in 1934 and very sadly died in 1993.
I went to St.James church when I was in Sydney in2014 and climbed the bridge in memory of my lovely Mum in 2011.
Another visit is definitely happening soon.

By the way I notice you are interested in the Kerr family from Scotland -my Great Grandmother ( Mother of Mary Thomas) was Christina Kerr so there may be a connection there 😀

Thank you so much -I'm not certain that this is the right couple as there is no record of my Grandmother's second name being Agnes.
On the Marriage certificate I have from 5/7/30 my Grandfather is listed as a Fitter.

Would anyone be able to do a lookup for me in Electoral Rolls for NSW between 1929&1932 ?
It's a long shot but I'd really love to know where my Grandparents lived in Australia so that I could visit next time I'm in Australia.
My Grandparents were married at St.James Church in Sydney in 1932 but no street address is given on the marriage certificate.
My Mum was born in Corrimalon19/1/1932 but I don't have a copy of her birth certificate and ( due to the 100 year rule) don't think that anyone would be able to look that up for me.
If any help my Grandfather was from South Wales and my Grandmother Mary was from Hamilton in Scotland ( maiden name Archibald)

Thank you for the reply JM.
The Marriage took place at St.James Church on
5th July 1930 and the officiating Minister is
recorded as John Fraser S.Russell.
The certificate is also signed by Deputy Registrar- AlexBaylis (?)
If I can I'll try to scan and attach a copy of the
certificate I have.

Hello Cando,
Is it possible to look up the full record of my
Grandparents marriage on 5/8/1930?- ref : 1930/009656
I have what I now believe to be a transcription
 only as it doesn't include addresses - very annoying
as I ordered this in the belief it would be a full certificate
but my mistake completely .
I've also found that the registers of marriages at
St.James church Sydney are available on microfiche at The Society of Australian Genealogists and
wondered whether this would also contain more information?

 8)Cando the certificate I have for William & Mary's marriage
on 5th August 1930 matches the reference number you've attached but
it doesn't include addresses for them.
It merely states that William's usual place of residence is Sydney
and Mary's is Balgownie.
Both Father's names and occupations are listed however although no occupation is listed for either William or Mary.
This is what makes me think this is a shortened version of the certificate- bit confused now !!
BTW do you happen to know whether on arrival in Sydney in 1929 you needed to have an address to go to ?- if so maybe I could look at passenger arrivals to see if that throws anything up .
Thanks for your help so far .

 Thanks Neil Todd - My Grandfather ran a club for Boxers in
Bargoed South Wales and Kerry Packer gave them a Trophy
to be presented to the most promising youngster.

Thanks Cando that's really interesting and I'm now wondering
whether they knew each other through Boxing
Connections.
I'm also wondering whether an extended Marriage Certificate would definitely exist ?
I ordered the Marriage certificate from the Records office but it didn't state at the time that you could either get a shortened or extended version.
Would it be worth contacting the Archivist at St.James's Church to see whether they have a copy of the Marriage Register ?
